ACO's Must Comply with MIPS

All Medicare Part B Physicians Will Report Through MIPS in 2017

CMS reports that 95% of ACOs are considered Track 1 ACOs. For the 2017 reporting year, Track 1 ACOs are ineligible to qualify to be a Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM). This means they must report through MIPS and be able to successfully:

Monitor quality data and benchmarks across the health system

Utilize and report on the use of technology as a means to advance care and improve provider communication

Maximize the CPS score above 70 to be eligible for a 10% bonus incentive
